All Chocolate Cake

I love chocolate, I think you should know that already. I especially love chocolate cakes, and I have many different recipes to make this lovely dessert. I like to mix and match sponge cake recipes with different flavors or glazes that I find from another recipe. My son has been craving chocolate cake since I asked him if I should make some about 2 weeks ago and made pineapple cake instead. I couldn’t torment him any longer, so I finally made this delicious chocolate cake covered in chocolate glaze and chocolate chips. This is the perfect treat for anyone who needs their chocolate fix ;)

Ingredients for the cake:

125 grams cooking chocolate cut into small pieces

3 eggs, separated

3/4 cup of flour less 1 tablespoon

1 cup icing sugar less 1 tablespoon

a pinch of salt

125 grams soft butter+ 1 tablespoon to grease a round cake tin

Ingredients for the chocolate glaze:

1 cup fresh cream

2 tablespoons corn syrup

2 tablespoons sugar

340 chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 C

Put the pieces of chocolate in a double boiler (or bain-marie) to let it melt

Remove from fire then add the flour, sugar and the egg yolks; mix well

Whisk the egg white with a pinch of salt until it forms a peak

Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture

Put into the greased tin and bake for about 30 minutes, then put it on a wire rack until cold

To make the chocolate glaze, boil the fresh cream in a casserole with sugar and corn syrup, then remove from fire

Pour the boiled cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and stir with a spoon until the chocolate melts, then let it set to cool. When cool add the vanilla

Spread the chocolate glaze over the cake and decorate with whatever you like (I used kiwi and chocolate chips; you could use any fruits, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc…)
